MEDIA CALL Today: Oxford Street Rainbow Crossing

The rainbow crossings have been installed in time for the Mardi Gras parade on Saturday 2 March, when a record 108 floats and 10,000 people will march with pride along Oxford Street.

Mardi Gras is a globally recognised festival that attracts more than 375,000 visitors each year and in recognition of its historical and cultural significance, the pedestrian crossings on Oxford Street at Taylor Square and Whitlam Square have been given a rainbow make over.

WHAT: The Lord Mayor will officially unveil the Oxford Street rainbow crossings in honour of the 35th year of the Mardi Gras Festival.
